Stability of strongly Gauduchon manifolds under modifications (Q1948727)

In a previous study on deformation limits of projective and Moishezon manifolds, the author presented and made crucial use of the notion of strongly Gauduchon metrics as a reinforcement of the earlier notion of Gauduchon metrics, see [the author, ``Limits of projective manifolds under holomorphic deformation'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:0910.2032}]. Using direct and inverse images of closed positive currents of type \((1,1)\) and regularization, the author shows that compact complex manifolds carrying strongly Gauduchon metrics are stable under modifications. This stability property, known to fail for compact Kähler manifolds, mirrors the modification stability of balanced manifolds proved in [\textit{L. Alessandrini} and \textit{G. Bassanelli}, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 320, No. 12, 1517--1522 (1995; Zbl 0842.32024)].
